Clear.

Two sections of the battery relieved today. Came back to the Wagon Lines after taking tow of the relieving officers up to the Hillside Farm and showing them the features of the country. Was mighty glad to get out of the place for the last time. Between the continuous shelling and deep mud, life was anything but pleasant. Our casualties have been fairly heavy.
